 Question 2: Do you prefer living in a house or in a flat?
Question 2: Do you prefer living in a house or in a flat?

Personally, I prefer living in a house rather than a flat. Houses offer more space and privacy, which I value greatly.
I enjoy having a backyard or garden where I can relax, plant flowers, or even have a small vegetable patch. Houses
also provide a sense of ownership and the freedom to customize the living space to my liking.
Question 6: What kind of accommodation do most people live in your city?

In cities, the majority of people live in block of flats,

villas or terraced houses. People who do not have
enough money to buy a house normally live in rental
accommodation.

In the countryside, people live in bungalows or

detached houses with back gardens. I feel more and
more people prefer to live in the suburbs because the
environment there is much fresher.
